spiketools.sim.sim_trials

spiketools.sim.sim_trials(n_trials, method=None, time_pre=1, time_post=2, refractory=0.001, **kwargs)

Simulate a collection of trials.

Parameters:

n_trialsint

Number of trials to simulate.

method{‘poisson’}

The method to use for the simulation.

time_pre, time_postfloat, optional, defaults: time_pre=1; time_post=2

The amount of time to simulate pre / post the event.

refractoryfloat, optional, default: 0.001

The refractory period to apply to the simulated data, in seconds.

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments. There are passed into the simulate function specified by method.

Returns:

trial_spikeslist of 1d array

Simulated trials, where list has length of n_trials. Each simulated trial has simulated spike times for the time range [-time_pre, time_post].
